About Me

Working in gastroenterology allows me to guide patients through sensitive and often challenging health issues with compassion and expertise.

I have the opportunity to diagnose and manage complex conditions, including the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, which can truly be life changing. Every day, I help patients find relief and restore their quality of life, empowering them to live more fully and confidently.

Everyone has a unique story, so I strive to gain a deep understanding of each patient’s individual needs to provide the best care possible. My goal is to make patients feel safe and welcome, help them access the testing or treatment they need, and allow them to leave with more knowledge than they arrived with — whether they meet in the clinic or the endoscopy suite.

I help patients find relief and restore their quality of life, empowering them to live more fully and confidently.

Most Recent Comments

  • Felt very comfortable with Dr Heffley and his staff. Finally hopeful I will get some answers to my medical issues.
  • Dr. Heffley is always wonderful. He has been managing my disease for years and he listens to my concerns actively and doesn't dismiss my feelings. As there is no cure for this disease and I will be with Heffley for as long as he's in this practice, I feel I am fortunate to have such a compassionate doctor.
  • Dr. Heffley asked, "do you feel like you're falling apart?" at one point in our visit, and I felt very seen. Sometimes it's hard to communicate to doctors when symptoms are not easily quantifiable. I am grateful to have both a highly intelligent and empathetic MD.
  • Was a good experience. Very easy to understand
  • As I said in the earlier screen, Dr. Heffley is the only doctor for over 20-years that has been able to help me. I will forever be grateful.
  • The medical condition I have been grappling with has been difficult, disruptive, and at times unmanageable. I had been feeling unheard by my PCP. Dr. Heffley and his resident - listened and validated the struggle it has been and promptly scheduled further and appropriate testing. The assistant who brought be back the my room was kind and efficient, the resident was caring and took a thorough history and communicated this information well to his attending, Dr. Heffley spoke with me made me feel heard and walked me through the next steps as he saw fit given my reported symptoms. He also provided much needed and helpful information as to how to better use the OTC medications and prescriptions I had already been given as my other providers had provided no instruction as to how to use them. The front desk/scheduler was informative helpful and provided ample information as to how to best communicate with the practice should I have any questions.
